My girlfriend and I stopped by to grab a coffee and walk around downtown. There definitely isn't much going on downtown Ocala on a Sunday morning. The name of this business is very cute and apparently dog friendly. The inside is pretty spacious with plenty of seating and there is a small upstairs area off to the side. They had a white pumpkin coffee special they were offering so of course we both ordered that. No complaints, had great flavor and did the trick. It wasn't busy, but it did take a very long time for a cup of coffee. They do offer other menu items and there is a nice selection of ice cream that you will notice when you get to the counter. Overall, if you are in the area and need some coffee, recommend stopping in. read more

Brown Dog Coffeehouse - Inside - Gelato Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Not too many options for Sunday morning breakfast, so we gave this place a try. Order at front counter and items are bussed to the seats when ready. Latte was good, sandwich was meh. It's a nice place to relax, not crowded, we were not rushed out the door. Nearby public lot free parking. read more

We were walking in downtown Ocala and two girls overheard us talking about coffee shops and they said to check out Brown Dog Coffee House. This shop was just across the street from our location so we headed there. Stereotypical coffee house vibe inside with sofas, table games and a beautiful fireplace which added to the laid back ambiance - where we took refuge. Literally the one barista was making the fresh coffees and eats for all the customers so there was a ten or fifteen minute wait. Excellent competitive pricing for Espresso at $2.65, Cappuccino $4.45, Latte $4.40, Mocha $4.95 and Affogato $6.25. Next to the front counter was a gelato ice cream offering many flavors including Wild Strawberry, Coconut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, Cookies & Cream and even a Vegan Vanilla. The owner took charge of the register and the line began to flow quickly as my Espresso was placed into my hand and was consumed quickly. The fireplace provided the perfect picturesque environment. The bathroom was super modern with light gray wooden flooring and a rectangular above counter sink, which added a nice flair. read more

This is a brand new coffee venue downtown. The owners are local and dedicated to producing a great product. I ordered a cold brew with caramel and a lemon bread. Both were delicious. The workers were very helpful and congenial. Saturday I went back and ordered an iced hazelnut latte. Also good. The space is very inviting. I'd definitely go there to study or meet with friends. read more

Went here to meet up with one of my friends. This place definitely had a cozy atmosphere. I got the brown dog and my son had a frappe and a brownie. Cost a little under $20. The drinks were good. My son ate half the brownie by the time I took a picture. Only complaint is there seems to be only one person work which made for a long wait to get our drinks. I'll go back again. read more

Coffee was great but it literally took 3 employees including the manager 15mins to make my iced americano with 2 people ahead of me in line who had clearly been standing there a while before I got there. Overcharged me for an extra double shot. Advertised as $1.00, was charged $2.40. $6 for a small iced americano with an extra double shot. And when the drink was finally finished, they were out of lids. Maybe I caught them on a bad day? read more

Brown Dog Coffeehouse - Gelato Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The coffee flavor, prices, and kind attitudes are not the issue. The issue is the incredibly slow service, lack of delegation and consistency. From my experience, they need more management and knowledge on how to run a coffee shop, from being comfortable with the coffee machines, knowing your menu, and organization. Everyone was doing everything with no specific dedicated duties assigned, to the point that an extra sandwich was created for a customer who had already received their order and left. The service was so slow another customer had to skip out on a breakfast sandwich they had already paid for because they needed to leave. Additionally, inventory seems to need to be done with time considering there was no lids for any of their coffee to-go cups (neither hot or cold). Lastly, the stinginess and lack of consistency on their sandwiches was frustrating. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin and what I received after 30 minutes of waiting for 2 simple iced coffees and 2 of these small sandwiches was a plain English muffin, a slab of premade egg with crumbs of bacon and NO cheese. There's a lot of potential here but sadly better management is needed. very disappointing visit and wouldn't return. read more

Brown Dog Coffeehouse - Menu item - Gelato Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Great service! Lemon cello gelato was beyond delicious. Cute place. Great to come with friends, play games and hang out.

Friendly barista, cute coffee shop, but VERY weak coffee. I would not suggest trying it.

Coffee was lovely and the atmosphere good. Great that dogs are allowed in However we went for a "cream tea with authentic clotted cream" but the "clotted cream " was cream cheese, a massive difference , a very poor substitute and a big disappointment. read more

Fantastic coffee at prices that beat the dogs! Nice place and a fabulous staff. I'll be back. Love supporting local businesses and see g the town grow the right way! read more

I just started coming to this coffee shop a few days ago and have been coming back every day. Great customer service and good tea! I would definitely recommend coming here. If that may be just to study or make friends it is a great choice. The chairs and fireplace give it a cozy and warm feeling. And the dog being in the shop sometimes is a great idea. read more

i really love this coffeehouse . i usually don't write reviews but i wanted to put in a kind word . i really appreciate the calm atmosphere to study in . they have comfy single person couches , lots of table space & their wifi works well which is always a plus . the background music isn't distracting & actually helps me focus (they usually play piano or chill jazz type music) . i like to grab a decaf caramel cappuccino & their gelato is really yummy too , they change up the flavors pretty often (: lots of sunlight thru the large windows downstairs & upstairs is a small cozy area where you can feel a little more secluded with your studies read more

Is the coffee good? Yes. Would I go here if I am ever in a rush. Absolutely not. Service is extremely slow, they spend more time looking at tickets than actually delegating and making the orders. It was painful to watch them making orders everyone looked confused at what to do including the owner. read more

From the coffee, to the prices, to the vibes, to the games. Everything about this place is awesome. I work from home here when I'm in town and it's just the perfect spot. Plus the added ability to grab some gelato at the end of the day is perfect read more
